Elden Ring releases in mere hours, and it has got to be one of the most exciting and hyped games in recent memories. An open world Dark Souls? If you get it, you get it. But let me break it down!
Here’s my preview of Souls games, and what I think you should know before playing Elden Ring!

Don’t gotta convince me I love the souls games and this might just as well be one.
I have a pc with a 1660 super, and a ps5. I’m not sure which one to get it for, on ps5 I’ll get a good consistent 60 fps. But on pc I have no clue. I want the 60 fps, but I also want it to look good.
That last part where you said; hope to not be invading my world.. I didn't realize this was an mmo. 🤔
The incel will be it playing here? Now that will be fun to watch.
How nice to see one of my favorite youtubers suddenly discover a love for my favorite game series. Maybe I'll see you in co-op in elden ring sometime soon 🙂
This game sounds great! I’m currently playing through shadow of war which is very similar but this will be next.
really glad you've played dark souls im a big fan of dark souls 2
My problem with Dark Souls is that the difficulty discourages you before it's any fun. Ori and the Blind Forest was hard, but it was a fantastic game.
I am in interested in Elden Ring, due to the open world aspect. Exploring a beautiful world in one of my favorite things to do in games.
I love that you used that Sen's Fortress clip lmao
I am afraid that I will not love it and regret buying it
Who is Justin?
I'm foaming at the mouth waiting six more hours

VUN.FYI
There's a polygon article talking about the predecessor to the weapon and build customization. It is From Software's previous and sci Fi Mecha series Armored Core.
From Software has existed since the 90s with Kings Field. However, their popularity has been fairly low and niche to the Mecha fans.
Yeah , No . I don't Have time to die Millions of time .
I played Bloodborne , Looks dope , really freaking badass , so My Style of look
its right up My ally . but The Diffultity , Its just to much for Me , Im more Casual Gamer
i game from time to time but i ratter have good Story then a hard game , i ratter have fun with the game then get Angry at it .
how nice it is to be given a challenge that you want to invest in, not babying games and removing features because it's too hard, right: Paradox, CA, etc, looking at you Victoria 3, looking at you Warhammer 3
Uchigatana every day
It’s not
It's like people who play this are Masochists :). I kid of course, sometimes, we WANT a challenge.
If you show this to certain people they won't get this, and will insist that the game NEEDS to fit their wants. Thing is FromSoftware has done a lot to pander to them, but they still want more.
I’m gonna be pissed if George.R.R.Martin didn’t put any Winds of Winter Easter eggs in the game.
played for about an hour, got real bored real fast, easy on the "hardest" settings and repetitive and cliche souls, returned it and got a full refund but hey glad yall are having fun that's what counts
We advised Eck to skip Dark Souls 2 for several reasons.
I know the game has it's lovers and it's take on Lore is very unique, especially back when it came out.
But Eck during his streams didn't pay too much attention to the Lore and gamplay wise I think all Souls players know DS2 is lacking. The game has serious hitbox issues addressed in many videos on youtube with examples of very unfair hits being registered. Grab mechanics were always a bit nasty in Souls games but in DS2 this is also taken to the next level, where your character can teleport 6 feet just so the grab animation can play.
What Eck said with souls games being hard but fair simply doesn't apply to DS2. DS2 also punishes the player for dying by cutting player's hit point maximum upon death. This can be remedied but overall was always seen as unnecesarily cruel mechanics. Healing item mechanics were often also criticised on the other side of the spectrum- it makes the game too easy for many players, especially when it comes to items that can regenerate your health mid boss battle. Knowing when to use healing items have always been a huge part of what made the combat challenging, DS2 took that away.
There are also serious AI issues in the game, usually when it comes to pathfinding for enemies.
There are other smaller issues but if someone wants to learn more there are youtubers that covered the game in depth, I can give some recommendations.
I played 6 hours and I am hooked
I can go anywhere and level up
Listen to a YouTube video or joe rogan podcast
Still don't get the hype, still not going to buy it
I'm so glad you're covering Elden Ring, especially since it's not a game you'd normally cover!
